Export Page History top-editors as wikitext table
Closed, ResolvedPublic3 Estimated Story Points

Description

The old Page History (aka articleinfo) has an option to export a wikitext version of the table of top editors and some other summary information. This should be added to the XTools rewrite. The export link is in the top bar of the 'Top editors' panel.

The format is e.g.:

* [[Geffrard]]
* en.wikipedia.org
* Total revisions: 43
* Number of editors: 20
* 2017-07-10 03:08:08

I think we should offer this for all tools, so this "Export" function should be extracted out so that you can give it any blob of structured data and have it return the markup for a wikitable. The most relevant example is the EditCounter, which currently users are copying/pasting onto the talk page of an RfA, and the formatting and alignment of the stats is all kinds of out of whack. They need an export tool!

For anywhere there is a chart, we should offer the ability to export the underlying data as CSV, JSON, or download it as a PNG. For this you can probably adapt the Pageviews Analysis code (which also uses Chart.js):

Ugh. I need to refine my Herald script.

Yes please do :)

@MusikAnimal: During meeting today, we decided not to generalize this, but to just limit to the one table for now.

PR: https://github.com/x-tools/xtools-rebirth/pull/41

I've added a ?format=wikitext option to the Page History results, which returns the required wikitext. This seemed more robust than a pure client-side solution, and means links can go straight to the wikitext if need be (e.g. from a template). Also, the 'format' variable for rendering a template could be something that's made more general (I thought about overriding Controller:render() and adding it, but as that can come next time there's a need perhaps).

This PR also fixes a tiny unrelated bug with the HTML.

Samwilson moved this task from Needs Review/Feedback to Q1 2018-19 on the Community-Tech-Sprint board.

This is done and working.
